Chapter 35: Apologized to Her

Chloe hadn't reacted yet when she felt someone supporting her waist, barely stabilizing her body. Lifting her gaze, she met the attractive eyes of Quintus. Locked in this gaze, Chloe's body subtly stiffened for a moment, then quickly averted her eyes and sat down on the bed. Subconsciously, Quintus reached out to support her. Seeing her avoidance, his eyes darkened abruptly. The large hand that had been supporting her waist was withdrawn. "Dare you say you've researched many difficult and miscellaneous diseases? Is this your research result? I think those certificates of yours are probably fake!" Amy didn't notice any strangeness between them. She was still furious, glaring at Felix, "I think she's just a scam artist! Hurry up and kick her out!" Hearing this, Chloe, who had withdrawn from the earlier awkwardness, retorted without hesitation, "No wonder Mr. Jasper Quilliam has deteriorated to this extent. It turns out someone has been intentionally hindering his treatment. Since Miss Quilliam insists, I'll leave now." With that, she stood up and put the silver needles back into the needle bag one by one. Her attitude towards treating Jasper just now was very persistent, and no one expected her to leave so decisively now. Felix was stunned for a few seconds before he came to his senses and quickly said, "Dr. Stanhope, I apologize sincerely. To be honest with you, our family has a medical background, and we also have some superficial knowledge of acupuncture. The reason why my sister is so angry is probably because she saw that the acupoints you needled were a bit risky and she's concerned about grandfather. Please don't mind her ignorance." Chloe continued to tidy up without lifting her head. "I don't need to endure this mistreatment here because of an ignorant person. I came here sincerely to treat Mr. Jasper Quilliam today." With these words, Chloe took the neatly packed medicine box and turned to walk towards the door. Felix became anxious. He carefully placed Jasper down and stood up, chasing after her. "Dr. Stanhope, please. My sister's words were indeed excessive. I'll have her apologize to you in person. Please continue treating my grandfather.' "No need. I can't accept an apology from Miss Quilliam," Chloe said, her tone cold and firm. Quintus stood by the bedside, his brows slightly furrowed, watching Chloe's retreating figure intently. He could sense that this woman was genuinely angry. On the side, Grace also noticed that the beautiful lady was not happy. There was a hint of anxiety in her eyes. Before she had a chance to greet, it seemed like Chloe was about to be driven away. Thinking about this, Grace, rarely showing signs of anger, walked over with her short little legs, picked up her small notebook, and angrily wrote a few words on it. Then, she held it up in front of Amy. Many people noticed the sudden appearance of the little girl, and their attention was drawn to the large characters on her notebook. "Apologize!" Grace looked at Amy with big eyes, eagerly awaiting her response. Seeing this, Amy felt a bit cornered for a moment. Her gaze wandered for a while, pretending not to notice Grace. She turned to her brother and said, "Let's find another doctor. I can't trust this woman." Seeing that Amy remained stubborn, Chloe's expression grew colder. She sarcastically raised her lips and said to Amy, "Then I wish Miss Quilliam good luck in finding a satisfactory doctor before Mr. Jasper Quilliam breathes his last." After saying this, she turned to leave. Just as she took a step, someone grabbed her wrist. Chloe furrowed her brows slightly, looking displeased as she turned to see who it was. To her surprise, Quintus's expressionless handsome face appeared before her. Chloe was full of astonishment. What was he trying to do?"
